Enjoying the excellent Sicilian olive oil and participating in the harvesting and production of olives is a non traditional experience that needs to be lived, immersing yourself in the authentic atmosphere of the Sicilian hinterland.The tour begins with a lesson about the olive harvest in an old farm not far from the historic center of Piazza Armerina. This city is rich in olive groves from which much of the Sicily’s oil production is derived. Picking the olives one by one and placing them in a wicker basket or on a tent, is still carried out by Sicilian families today, creating a moment of intense family gathering and cheerfullness. The harvested olives will then be taken to the various mills in the area for cold milling.
